I don't do sport. As the youngest guy in class, during school days I was always picked last, and was useless anyway. In later life, I have seen enough of my colleagues going off to Casualty following lunchtime cricket or five-a-side to know that sport is bad for your health.

I do do entirely lazy cycling (10 miles each way to work on fair weather days March to October and getting off when it goes uphill; six miles each way into town Saturdays, the latter with a beer stop on the way back); then in the gym at the Y maybe twice a week for about 40min when not cycling.

I did the martial arts thing for a really short while back in college. I wish I stuck to it. It's a great exercise.

it is a great exercise and its pretty fun cuz at my class my sensays are young and they put music

We didn't get any music! We had some guy who EVERYONE thought was gay and after I left they fired him.

Then, our Sensei banged up his wife and had triplets and now they make all the hardcore aikido freaks do all the work for him.

I'm on my schools XC/Track Team. But I still am average. I think I'm going to stay average no matter what I do. But whatever...

I did XC and track when I was in high school (four years ago) after deciding that I didn't have the coordination or mind for more complicated sports.

I trained and got better every year, but still didn't make it off the JV. Running, though, is a lifelong activity. I always feel better when I'm on a regular training schedule -- more energy, better focus, and so on. So stick with it, even if you're not going to win any races.

I play soccer on a rec league in the summer and cross country ski in the winter (this explains why my knees are always fucked up). I was in Aikido for four years during college but quit when I graduated because I didn't have the time anymore (damn career) and the nearest classes were 30 miles away. Technically fishin is a sport but a lazy one. The hunting I do is much more labor intensive. Think of it as a five to fifteen mile hike with a 8 lbs stick thats loud or for the ducks all you have to do is wade through a slough once and you will know what I mean. Personally I think this is enough exercise and I should be allowed to relagate some serious sitting time to college and pro football but a pushy broad makes me run ten miles three times a week on a treadmill which I really wish was nothing more than a glorified clothes rack like everyone else's treadmill.

I'm not built for sports; I'm 6 foot 2 and 140 pounds. If you do the math, I'm scrawney, tall, and look like I should be glued to my computer chair.

Some say I should play basketball, but thats not for me. But, I refuse to play the hand I was dealt; I play a sport that no one as light as me should: Football, Canadian football. It's similar to American football, but one more down, and one more player per team. Since I'm not particularly strong, I have to have good technique and desire to do the job right.

But the feeling of being on any team is a very good one, I recomend everyone join some sort of sporting team, especially those in school.

With my 162 cm-s and 43-45 kilos I don't think I could do anything. Not that I want to. All I do is to roll my eyes under their lid. :PI would go for aikido, but you know how it is... you say "Okay, tomorrow I'll go" every day, then you find yourself in 2006 instead of 2005. :P
